Jul 2011
Land of minds that mine for fool's gold
A false wish waves on a tattered scorched flag
So serious yet so seriously not
Monotone notes of after thought calculations
Make me breathe light due to speculation
We are not alone
We are not together
We are the milling and seething masses of this Earth
We have turned over a new leaf and forgotten about the millions of trees
Before it
History books will burn as the buildings will topple
The steeples with winged whining horses will bend for their final kneel
Tea hot or cold spills onto the once white napkin so it can no longer be used
Cabbies explode due to too much nitro
We are not alone
We are not together
We are the floating fantasies the God's dream up while they sleep and slumber
**** and party
We are the play things baby monsters nick away time which does not weigh them down
We are a fantasy and a reality
Tonight as the stars shine through a broken dead black ink *** sky
And I'm out and about watching love die
Watching sewers overflow with a majesty that even the Queen would be jealous of
And the hanging grey clouds hover nakedly over a city that was never mine
Look for the hour glasses which tilt neither left nor right but are crying
They are the bearers of good and bad luck
They carry the key to the wisdom of this doomed son
